I was just racing at Bristol and leading and after about 350 laps, I was
entering turn two and the screen flashed. I was into the wall and out of
the race. I went back to the replay and during the flash, it showed me
sliding into the inside wall crossing the finish line. Then it flashed
back and I was into the outside wall where I was before. Anyone else see
this type of thing before.

Just last night, during a qualifying run, (thank goodness not as far into
a race as you were) as I came off of four, and just as i passed the pit
wall my car went flying in two or three directions off of everything in
sight. I have a replay if anybody wants it, quite humorous. But I just
hit shift-r and everything went smoothly from then on. It was the first
time anything like that had happened to me and I've been playing NASCAR
since roughly October of last year. Wierd.

Yup, I was racing hard at the glen, and on lap 80 the screen flashed, a beep
was heard, and my car made an impossible move into the wall (a 90 deg turn).
I also have a replay of this. At Sears Point I tried to enter the pits at 130
MPH, the car crashed, stopped and Wheeeeeee! Suddenly it did 10 360 spins,
through the wall at increasing speed, back onto the Track. I also have a nice
crash where the #3 car hits the wall, destructs, and stops. Suddenly it starts
accelerating backwards, while sideways along the barrier for quite some
distance, spins and ends up several turns back from where we crashed!

I had the same exact thing happen to me only a few days back...maybe it's
a planet alignment thing.... :)
Anyway, I'm leading Bristol, I'm sprting through lapped trappic...I'm
passing Steve Grissom and Dino the Dinosaur on the inside of turn
four....
All of a sudden, the screen goes dark. A split-second later...it comes
back...and my hood and tires are flying down pit road while my car is
attached to Jimmy Spencer spinning down the front straight....

It's only happened once before, but it's pretty loony when it does....

Yup,

The Bristol Triangle is infamous for examples of cars being teleported
to the other side of the track where another car might be and then
back to where you began.

Also being investigated by Tully (Xfiles) are:

Surfers Paradise
Michigan
Nazareth and
Sears Point.

I just get Indycar2,and it was a big disappointed for me.
I have a fast comp (P133) so I manage to start it in SVGA with full details.
It is a little slow ,but playable,I don`t know FPS (maybe I could see it
somehow?)

Anyway,I don`t like it ,first of all a formula got a squared tires ?! -
in SVGA with full details !! I mean, that is terrible ,and almost enough
reason to not play that game ever again.But I am a ***ed of Indy1 so I
give Indy2 another chance.

And there it goes again,more disappontment....formula is too sluggish,like
truck :),environment is too sterile,"not a live",it is precise but not
real,it is to clean ...I don`t know...it is just no good ...it was better in
Indy1 on 320x200 .
Then there is a sound,sound is not that wild as it was in Indy1,it is too
cultivated,it is almost like Dodge Viper motor in N4S :) ......

Well,that was my thinking......Indy1 is a better game!

Maybe I am wrong,or not,maybe somebody could tell me about brighter side
of the game.....
